AN OX PAST SERVICE, by                    
First Line: With weight of years and yoke forspent
Last Line: To graze and rest and low.
Subject(s): Animals; Oxen


WITH weight of years and yoke forspent,
To no grim slaughter-house was sent
The ox from Alcon's plough.
His grateful master gives him ease
At liberty in grassy leas
To graze and rest and low.
